Most major brands are removing these ingredients but keep an eye out when you purchase your next polish.

Most toxins in nail polish are respiratory toxins meaning when you breathe in the VOC’s, they are damaging to your lungs. That’s why I like to stay away from nail salons and encourage you to find safer nail polish to use at home.

Confession: I Hate To Paint My Nails

I really do love the way my fingernails look when they are painted but the times I have done a decent job painting them it never fails that someone in the house will need something or I’ll smudge them because I forgot they were wet.

I like my toes to be painted in the summer and I usually can do them without messing up. Usually. 🙂

My friends try to get me to go with them for girls night because they think it’s relaxing. Hmm, I can’t relax when I’m spending $50. I would rather go out to eat or buy new clothes.

Has This Ever Happened To You?

My daughters are 10 and 12 and they always want their nails polished. If you’re a mom you’ve may have experienced this scenario…

Your daughters are painting their nails and you hear one of them yell that they spilled the polish. Yikes!

What’s The Alternative To Nail Polish?

If you’re like me you may have sworn off nail polish for simplicity sake. Well, I have daughters and that reasoning doesn’t fly around here. 🙂

Thankfully, last month a blogger I’ve been stalking following, posted about how she solved her issues with nail polish. She has 6 kids. That woman has no time to paint her nails much less wait for her polish to dry!

The next week she sent an email to her subscribers (of course, I’m on her list) and because I had a bit of time I decided to do a little research.

Yes, you can use them on your toes. In fact, with one pack you can get 2 full manicures and a pedicure. It’s a super value and easy to use. I’ve changed mine after a week just because I wanted something new but they weren’t chipped after my daily wear. They say they will last 14 days or so.

How do you know that Colorstreet products are free of the top 8 toxins? They do not claim that anywhere I can find on their website. Why wouldn’t they be advertising that they are a less toxic alternative? I contacted a friend who sells them and she couldn’t even tell me whether or not they were committed as a company to providing a less toxic product. I’m just trying to verify. Thank you for your help.

Hi, that’s a great question and one I asked when I first started using the nails.
Color Street does not brand itself as “less toxic” or represent themselves as a less toxic nail polish. The company itself does not have it on their website as such. However, you can look at the ingredients on their website and see that the Top 8 problematic chemicals are not in them. They do smell like nail polish when you open up the plastic wrapper because they are real nail polish. After reviewing the ingredients myself compared to the other polish I’ve used these were the safest and best wearing. I haven’t had luck with the water-based polish that has fewer ingredients but I know some people have. Also, I like these because of the variety and of course, that you don’t have to wait for them to dry. They aren’t perfect but if a person wants more than just a regular coat of paint then these are the best option. It’s a lot safer than sitting in a nail salon breathing in all the fumes. I hope this helps.
